Broncos' McDaniels says Brady Quinn was never part of Jay Cutler trade talks: Browns Insider

Ed Reinke/Associated PressDenver head coach Josh McDaniels denied reports from last spring that the Broncos attempted to work a trade to get Brady Quinn from the Browns.BEREA, Ohio -- Broncos coach Josh McDaniels denied a report that he inquired about trading for Brady Quinn before the draft and said no talks took place between the two teams.
The Denver Post reported in April that the Broncos -- who were in the midst of trying to trade Jay Cutler -- called the Browns about Quinn, but were told he was unavailable.

Another report surfaced in the Washington Examiner that the Broncos were involved in three-way trade talks with Washington and Cleveland that would've sent to Quinn to Denver and Cutler to the Redskins. The source told the Examiner it was close to happening until the deal with the Browns unraveled. It also said the Broncos' first preference was Quinn, followed by Chicago's Kyle Orton.


The Broncos ultimately traded Cutler and a fifth-round pick to Chicago for Orton, two-first-round picks and a third.

At the time, Browns coach Eric Mangini said reports of the three-way trade talks were wrong. On Wednesday, during a conference call with Browns media, McDaniels said "no" when asked if he inquired about Quinn.

"There were a few teams that made calls to our organization, [General Manager] Brian Xanders and myself, inquiring about the whole situation with Jay, and Cleveland was not one of them," said McDaniels, a native of Barberton, Ohio. "There weren't that many teams that called to go ahead and put their name in the hat. Chicago obviously ended up being the one that we felt comfortable with and we're very happy that we have Kyle Orton and are moving forward as an organization."

my problem with this is if he wanted quinn he should have put a package together to get him last year! whats the dif!

In other words, we should just ignore everything McD says at his press conferences and just wait to see who he actually signs.

I think Josh got the guy he was looking for before he even talked to Chicago. And before you all start jumping to conclusions about my take on it, i'll stop you right there... I think it is McDaniels first good move. Brady has a ton more talent than Orton, a stronger arm and a stronger body. He is young and moldable, and that is exactly what Josh wants. Brady Quinn will start the regular season as Denver's starting quarterback, and I think it is the right move. I am not saying Quinn is Peyton Manning, but under the right tutelage he could live up to his potential and hype out of college.

i agree good move a year ago! this year not sure! what it says is we traded cutler for a backup qb, 5th string cb and a blocking te! so we really didnt get crap for cutler, who is as good if not better than quinn, i like the move myself, but to learn the offense, probable lock out, aging defense! dont see us gaining much!

"I am coming for you, Kyle."

What an effrin homo. Of all the players in the league, this is the one I wanted last. Gosh damn'it.

Maybe he and Kyle can bond easier than most competing quarterbacks....
